Support a Coalition for Canada

Stephen Harper has tried to exploit the economic crisis to push through a series of aggressively partisan and ideological proposals while doing nothing to actually stimulate the economy.

Shocked into action, the opposition parties have finally decided to fight back together -- using their majority of seats in the House of Commons to form a coalition government.

Harper calls this move 'undemocratic' and is trying to use his huge cash reserves and high level media friends to manufacture a 'backlash'.

We urgently need to show the media and the Governor General where Canadians stand. Through a flood of petition signatures, phone calls to radio shows, letters to the editor, and more, we can demonstrate that the 62% of us who didn't vote for Harper want to see him go.

We citizens of Canada express our strong support for a coalition government to replace the minority government of Stephen Harper, and call upon all opposition parties to maintain their unity. We ask the Governor General to allow a new coalition government.
